Summer Camps are in full swing as Sumo Robots take over theClubhou.se and the Boys and Girls Club STEM in the City Initiative. Working with Think Tools to teach kids about building robots and learning to code.

Here is a great news segment highlighting the Sumo Robot Camp hosted at theClubhou.se. Three weeks of camp teaches kids how to make their own 3D Printer, build their own robot, learn to code C++, and then apply a bluetooth module to make their robot remote control with their own mobile app.

I&T Today was onsite at the USA Science & Engineering Festival in Washington DC. Check out this short re-cap video from the show. Keep your eyes peeled for exclusive interviews from innovators in #‎STEM. (Including a cameo by Sumo Robot League)

At the USA Science and Engineering Festival last week, we were interviewed by Javon for the Kids Doing STEM You Tube Channel. They are three siblings that love all things Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. It's dedicated to showing kid friendly STEM projects and experiments any kid can do at home, as well as interviewing professionals in a variety of STEM related fields.

Sumo Robot League was invited to participate in National Robotics Week at Georgia Tech. It was a fun day sharing with middle and high school students all things sumo. Sponsored by Georgia Tech’s Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines (IRIM), over 100 students from about the state had a chance to try out the robots via blue tooth and remote control, or in the sumo wrestling ring.

Sumo visits the West Coast. The team ventures to San Francisco to the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) Conference and more than 3800 educators from around the nation had the chance to learn more about how Sumo Robots could benefit their school programs.
